In this expert interview video focusing on topics from the October 2024 ADVENT symposium at EAPS in Vienna, Austria, Dr Christine Bangert discusses the epidemiology of AD in children and the role of type 2 cytokines in driving the pathophysiology of the disease
Join experts Roland Buhl, Joaquim Mullol, and Giselle Mosnaim as they discuss the role of type 2 inflammation across the unified airway, with a focus on the amplified burden and the difficulty controlling inflammation when asthma and CRSwNP coexist.

In this video from the March 2025 ADVENT symposium in Orlando, Florida, Dr. Eric Simpson discusses how protective type 2 immunity can become dysregulated, leading to harmful type 2 inflammation. The associated inflammatory process can contribute to the pathophysiology of several dermatological diseases, including AD, PN, CSU, and BP.
This page presents educational material, infographics, and video highlights from our recent ADVENT symposia, including the 2025 World Congress of Pediatric Dermatology (WCPD) in Buenos Aires, Argentina, exploring the pathophysiology of type 2 inflammation and atopic dermatitis, the burden of disease leading to cumulative life course impairment (CLCI), and the risk of the atopic march in pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis.

The March 2025 ADVENT symposium in Orlando, Florida brought together 4 dermatology experts to explore the evolving science of type 2 inflammation. Type 2 inflammation plays a central role in the pathophysiology of multiple dermatological diseases, driving chronic immune dysregulation that affects patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) prurigo nodularis (PN), chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and bullous pemphigoid (BP). Understanding the mechanisms behind type 2 inflammation is key to advancing care and improving patient quality of life.
Type 2 inflammation contributes to many dermatologic diseases, which may lead to potentially life-changing burdens and challenges to patients and caregivers. By uncovering the role of type 2 inflammation in the pathophysiology of AD, PN, CSU, and BP, we can move forward in our understanding of each disease. Join global experts for an educational symposium on March 8th that will uncover the role of type 2 inflammation in the pathophysiology of AD, PN, CSU, and BP and explore questions driving current research in each disease.
Join the effort to improve CRSwNP care. World Anosmia Day serves as an opportunity to raise awareness about the loss of the sense of smell. Access some of countless educational resources with ADVENT below.

In this educational presentation, Profs. Vibeke Backer and Sietze Reitsma cover key aspects of type 2 inflammation and its role in the pathogenesis and management of CRSwNP and practical strategies for optimizing disease control and improving patient outcomes.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr. Brian Kim explores the histaminergic and nonhistaminergic mechanisms of itch, highlighting how type 2 cytokines like IL-4 serve as central orchestrators of neuronal sensitization and immune–nervous system cross-talk.

In this soundbite video from the April 2025 ADVENT Forum in Lisbon, Portugal, Dr. Brian Kim describes the dynamic neuroimmune interactions in chronic pruritic skin diseases, emphasizing how type 2 cytokines and sensory nerves actively influence both itch perception and tissue inflammation.

In this highlight video from the October 2024 ADVENT symposium at EAPS in Vienna, Austria, Dr Christine Bangert discusses how type 2 inflammation contributes to epidermal barrier dysfunction and chronic itch in AD

In this highlight video from the ADVENT AD symposium held at EADV’s 2024 Annual Meeting in Amsterdam, Dr. Stephan Weidinger discusses how IL-4 contributes to systemic type 2 inflammation in AD via several mechanisms, including T cell differentiation, B cell activation and IgE generation, and T regulatory cell inhibition.
